During break, students can purchase drinks and snacks from the Dining Room.
Most students have lunch in the Dining Room, but outdoor space is also available.
After school there are a number of clubs and activities that take place. Corrections are also held after school. If your child is required to stay for a correction after school then you will receive a text message informing you of this and the correction will be completed the following day.
On the way to and from school, we expect our students to remember that they are representing our academy. They should show respect for other people and be friendly and polite at all times, whether on foot or using public transport. Uniform should be worn correctly on the way to and from school.
